HAMBURG's CHERRY FEAST.
How an Army of Children Won a
Great and BlOodIess Victory.


Great and BlOOdless Victory.
In the month of July there was annu
ally celebrated for four centuries at
Hamburg strange festival, known as
1.-The Cherry Feast" 1t was for the
most part confined to young folks, who,
when cherries were ripe, says All the
Year Round, usually early in the month,
marched through the streets of the town
bearing branches laden with ripe,
luscious fruit.
In the year 1882 a great HuSSite army
besieged the city of Hamburg under the
command of PrOcOpiuS the Great. The
war had ragged for many years and on
both sides it had become both bitter
and cruel. When they saw the army
outside their walls the people of
Hamburg became extremely fright
ened, as they could not hope to hold
out long against such odds. \ council
of chief citizens was held to devise
some method of saving the town. Moth
ing seemed feasible until some one sug-
geSted that they should send out all the
little children, for" said one, 1.-The
sight will surely melt the hearts Of the
soldiers, and they will do us no HARM"
The suggestion was acted upon, and
al tilt CIiliuItll VI l1lc lONn Ntic Sdtu-
cred together from their homes and set
in marching order. The gates of the
city were opened and they were told to
march out to the army. Great was the
surprise of the army to see the gates of
the city swing open; but greater still
their surprise when they saw march
out an army of little children clad i'll
white. When they heard the pattering
of the tiny feet, and when the little
ones drew up timidly before the tents,
the warriors were fairly conquered, and
tears filled their eyes.
They who had come to rob, kill and
burn threw down their arms. and, gath
ering beautiful branches of fruit off the
cherry trees, sent the children back to
their parents with those branches and
message of peace, which was faithfully
observed. The children won a great
and bloodlesS victory, and i'll comnem-
Grafton of it these branches were until
recently. if not now, carried through
the streets by the children.

TWO TIGER STORIES.
Shooting Man Eaters-A Hunters
Cool Nerve.

Shikar Stories by J. Brown.
Myself and a brother officer reached
during our trip place called Marouda,
situated on the banks of a river. a tribu-
tary of tie Vein Gunga, if remember
rightly. in the Chanda district. We here
heard that a tiger, tigress and three
cubs frequented a strip of jungle on the
banks of the river: the tigreSS, more
over. had by native report been magni-
fled into IMAM eater, and was said to
have killed a man the day previous
to our arrival. This, indeed, proved to
be the fact: but that the poor wretch
lost his life was due entirely to his own
carelesSneSS and fOolhardinesS. The
man in question had a small patch of
cultivation bordering the cover III which
the tigers generally lay up. The cubs
in their gambOls had done considerable
damage to the crop, rolling about in it
and breaking down the plants. In order
to prevent their making his field their
playground, the owner. in spite of being
advised to the contrary. announced his
determination of setting fire To the long
grass at the end of the Jungle. This in
tention he accordingly pr0ceeGe Ia
carry into etfect, and had hardly kindlcd
tie flames which were TO insure him
from future damage, when the tigress.
which had been lying up within few
yards of him. rushed out and knocked
1tm over. killing him almost inStanta-
neously. She however, left him and
never ate any of the body, as she would
have done had she been real man.

AN ENGLISHMAN'S PRANK.
Giving a Hickman $500 and
Riding in a Hearse.

Omaha World.
There died at Leavenworth, Kan,
about seven years ago one of the most
remarkable Englishmen that ever
crossed the Atlantic. He was the scion,
or at least seemed to be, of wealthy
family, for he received large sums of
money from England quarterly. but fur
ther than that his past was sealed
book. He was known by the name of
Green, and in general appearance was a
typical BritOn.
On one occasion Green hired hack,
rounded up few of his friends and
proceeded to do the town. The hack
man knew him we'll and humored him
in every whim until along toward MORN
ing, when he ordered him to drive to
of the city. This the hackman refused
to do, and Green became very indig-
nant.
Whats your (hic) bloody old rig (hic)
worth?" he blurted.
Eight hundred dollars" replied the
driver.
Directing the hackman to drive to a
neighbOring lamp post, Green fumbled
around his clothes for awhile and finally
brought forth check book. Then he
with great difficulty filled out a check
for $500 and handed it to the driver.
''There, confOund you (hic), Pm boss
of the slrebang (hic }; drive to fort"
The driver Informed him that he no
longer owned the team and carriage and
would therefore quit handling the reins
right then and there. Finally Green
succeeded in hiring him for the trip,
paying $50 in gold for his services.
On returning to the city Green pre-
scented the turnout to the driver, and
that individual was just $500 richer than
he was before the party got into the
hack.
About the worst eccentricity the wild
Englishman ever committed occurred
three months after the hack incident
He made very elaborate arrangements
for funeral procession and spent
money freely in doing it. He secured a
brass band, all the carriages in the city
and the finest hearse to he had, all COW
cred with black plumes. He filled the
hacks with women of the town,
gamblers, loafers and everybody else
that he could induce with money

which the hearSe and carriages were
stationed, and, donning shroud,

moved down the street in the most sol
emn manner. 1t was early in afternoon
of a lovely day, and the sidewalks were
crowded with people. Nothing unusual
occurred until the cortege reached the
corner of Delaware and Fourth streets,
right in the center of the city. Then,
suddenly, without warning, Green
kicked the lid off the coffin, sprang up,
and with an unearthly yell went through
the glass sides of the hearse. The
scene that followed the appearance of
this apparition cannot be described.
Women tainted dead away, children
were terror-Stricken and men turned
pale. Confusion reigned. and it seemed
for time that everybody had gone
crazy. The police finally put in an ap-
pearance and arrested Green. When
the crowd learned that they had not
seen ghost, and that nobody had risen
from the dead, that it was all one of the
wild Englishman's capers, their indig-
nation knew no bounds, and the police
had great difficulty in pl preventing them
from lynehing him. He was heavily
fined in the police court next morning,
besides receiving scathing lecture
from Judge Vaughn. This little affair
cost Green thousands of dollars, but he
had bushels of fun out of it, at least SO
he said.
